It should be noted that at least in SoD (and possibly already in AB, I'm not sure), if there is no free slot in the army and a stack of warrior skeletons is present after the battle, and there is no hero-necromancer, then it receives upgraded skeletons.
and I also remember that I almost had a dream - to collect artifacts for raising ghosts and liches, like boots, an amulet, and something else. But I never managed to do it:D
